\ Sort Of Argument.

Almost everybody admits that it would
not be pleasant. to have our coas!a swept
by British men-of.war. Various argu.
ments ere advanced, however, to show
why nothing ought to BIO done to prevent
that catastrophe.
For example, havs We not spent great
deal OF money on our navy, and have we a
navy to boast Of? II we spend more ia
there any guarantee that the result will DO
whit better? And again, Who can give
assurance that the British men.oi.war
would kindly wait until We shall have de-
Tended our coasts and built navy that
shall blow the Britishers out OF water?
Arguments put in this form are very
persuasive, but some how they don't quite
Deem 10 meet the case. II ever our coasts
happen TO DO swept by an enemy we shall
DO better ablo to detect the flaw in the
argument. n

Tho, MusSump ncwspnpern, and some
nlso Of thu puro Democratic strain, don't
entirely like The senato'g reply to the
President on tho rejection OF Matthews.

to I'll with Joy tho bosoms Of those who
have undertaken to wetnurse tho Presi-
dent and are bound to stick to the job to

Defenders OF tho Administration cannot
get over one or two briutliug facts in tho
Matthews case. To make way for per.
sonsl henchman Of the President, Fred
erlck Dougluss, a representative man and
reslden. OF the District Of Columbia
largely interested in It's welfare, was
ousted; notwithstanding the Democratic
platform had promised homo rule in all
such cases. These avo . iew things the
President and his friends can't get over,
and because they can't the heather rage.
Outside Of those who are dependent on
the Presidents official bounty, there are
probably not ten reaidonts Of the district
who approve Of the Matthews appoint
mert. The people Of the District are the
ones who pay the Recorder, and whore
there are 80 many good and intelligent

Recently there was printed in these col
umna the account OF the twenty-eight
years imprisonment Of q Philadelphia
lady who WAS declared never to have been
insane. 6ho was we'll .knowa 10 Ia of
sound mind, and Jet there was no trouble
to get her in tho asylum; the trouble was
to get her cut.
Now they ara having in Philadelphia a
case which shows another phaac Of the in.
sanity lava. For months tbs sharif has
been insane. His family and friends made
every effort to keep from the public q
knowledge Of his condition. He con .inucd
to DO physically pseseut in his Office and
to perform ca only 3 crazy man conld tho
duties Of tho Sheriff. His chief deputy
told him what TO do, and helped him to
do it.
Becoming violent, It was necessary to
remove the Sheriff to a mad house; but
this did not interfere with tho regular dis.
charge OF his duties. His autograph
stamp put in hiH hand, and his hand made
to 60 through tho motions, Ito WIS able to
sign his name to anything. The sheriI's
friends still insisted that he was not dis
abled. tf
Finally it wsa thought well 10 have an
inquiry by a committee OF the Legislature
to ascertain whether tho Sheriff OF Phils.
delphia is still able to discharge tho duties
Of his Office from the violent ward OF a
mad house. When the committee visited
tho asylum tho proprietor would not say
that he could not discharge the duties OF
his office, though under the torture Of
cross-examination he did admit that the
discharge was attended by come Difficult.
tea. Neither would he say that in course
Of time tho Sheriff might not have pro.
longed lucid interval. The trouble in this
case ID to get an insane man declared in.
sane, and that is because influential
friends are interested to pull the other
way.
Thore is scarcely State whose insanity
laws arc creditable to q civilized people,
though there is DRIFT in the right direc.
ton, the result Of earnest and arduous
labors by noble men and women.
